MeridStreet AI summary

Tropical Storm Dolly has been downgraded to an "open tropical wave" as it heads towards the Caribbean. This downgrade means that the storm's winds are no longer strong enough to be classified as a tropical storm. The remnants of Dolly are still expected to bring heavy rainfall to parts of the Caribbean this weekend, including the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola. This could have significant economic implications, particularly for agriculture and tourism in the affected regions.
